  • P = Principal
  • R = Rate of Interest
  • N = Number of Years

Formula Type #1: Interest Compounded Yearly
Amount (A) = Principal (P) X ( 1 + Rate of Interest (R) / 100 )Number of Years (N)

 

Formula Type #1: Interest Compounded Half-Yearly
Amount (A) = Principal (P) X [ 1 + Rate of Interest (R) / 2 / 100 ]2 X Number of Years (N)
OR
Principal (P) = [ 1 + Rate of Interest (R) / 200 ] 2 X Number of Years (N)

 

Formula Type #1: Interest Compounded Quarterly
Amount (A) = Principal (P) X [ 1 + Rate of Interest (R) / 4 / 100 ]
OR
Principal (P) [ 1 + Rate of Interest (R) / 400 ] 4 X Number of Years (N)

Example

If we apply basic formula Amount = Principal ( 1 + R / 100 )N, where Principal (P) = 1 and Rate of Interest (R) = 5%. Then:

  • For the First year it will be: ( 1 + 5 / 100 )1
    = 21 / 20.
  • Second year it will be: ( 1 + 5 / 100 )2
    = 441 / 400.
  • And, for the Third year it will be: ( 1 + 5 / 100 )3
    = 9261 / 8000.

      If rate of interest is 5% then first year it will be 105 / 100 = 21 / 20
      If rate of interest is 5% then second year it will be (105 / 100)^2 = 441 / 400
      If rate of interest is 5% then 3rd year it will be (105 / 100)^3 = 9261 / 8000
